I'm not sure, but I think it's Havoline. It's just bulk oil at our dealership. Unless the customer specifies something else.

Probably whatever bulk oil the dealer can obtain for a reasonable price. IIRC Esso leads the Canadian market in this regard.

Thanks Ian.
I was just curious to see if GM Canada has a specific brand they use, so that I could see how it compares to other oils that are available.

I agree. I don't know about Canada, but in Iowa, my dealer was using Northland the last time I asked. They use GM approved oils but the brand varies with the price fluctuations. Dave
So I guess it really doesn't matter what the oil is, as long as it's GM approved?
As long as the starburst and API labels are on the bottle with the proper visc. its a GM approved oil.
Worked the lube rack at a dealership in eastern Canada for a few years...it was a PetroCanada truck that filled the bulk oil tank.
